MURIATE OF POTASH. A popular form 
of the essential potash salts. It produces a 
very beneficial effect when applied to hay 
or pasture fields at the rate of 100 to 150 
pounds to the acre. All root crops, potatoes, 
beets, turnips, and the like, require a large 
proportion of potash in order to develop 
properly. 
SULPHATE OF AMMONIA. The most 
highly concentrated form in which this 
very important plant-food element is ob¬ 
tainable. It should be used with caution 
and preferably mixed with other fertilizers, 
using not over 125 pounds of the Sulphate 
to the acre. 
NITROPHOSKA. A complete fertilizer, 
very concentrated, therefore a little goes a 
long way. An ideal plant-food for general 
growth, having composition of 15 per cent 
Nitrogen, 30 per cent Phosphoric Acid, 
15 per cent Potash. Ideal for greenhouse 
and potted plants; for all flowers; for lawns; 
for vegetables—wherever plant-food is 
needed. Lb. 25 cts.; 5 lbs. 90 cts.; 10 lbs. 
$1.50; 25 lbs. $2.75. 
LAND PLASTER (Gypsum). An excellent 
addition to land requiring lime and sul¬ 
phates, particularly such crops as clovers, 
grasses, potatoes, and turnips. Quantity 
required, broadcasted and harrowed in, 
)/2 to 1 ton per acre. Price on application. 
NITRATE OF SODA. The most readily 
available form in which nitrogen can be 
had. Largely used for forcing vegetables, 
strawberries, etc., for applying to grass 
fields after each cutting, producing a strong, 
healthy growth and wonderfully increasing 
the yield.

High-content or¬ 
ganic Humus in its 
purest and richest 
form. Contains ap¬ 
proximately 2 per 
cent nitrogen. All 
decayed vegetative

Peat Moss, and so fine that it may be used 
as a top-dressing for fine turf and will 
readily and quickly work into the turf.

soil in the correct mechanical condition for 
the fertilizer you may add, making it re¬ 
main available for use by the plants. It 
will absorb and hold 10 to 12 times its own 
weight in moisture. 80-Ib. bag (about 
10 bus. when loosened) $3; Trial Package

meets every requirement. As a propagating 
material it has no equal, and is of great 
value in storing bulbs and as a forcing 
medium. Bales (about 19 bus.) $3.25; Trial
